The format that my instruction set is to explain in detail what a computer is how good a computer is how effective a computer is in everyday life as humans and how society has developed with it. When it comes to the important parts of it I chose the parts that make the computer pop like what makes a computer a computer. I explained almost every maybe all the important parts of the computer that make it run perfectly.
The strategies for the reading, drafting, revising, editing, and self-assessment that I took into consideration for my technical description and instruction set is to talk about it more about the computer and its parts and what it did as a whole. Peer review helped me with my work because I got help and advice about how I can fix all of my work and my projects with just small specific things and large things as well that helped me change the whole work in general and I still appreciate the help.
My own writing goals, and audience expectations regarding conventions of genre, medium, and rhetorical situation that I have for myself are to be able to make my writing easy to understand and also be able to share a lot information as possible. What I struggled with in writing this assignment was trying not to express a lot of information but the information I have in my knowledge and express it in writing and trying to give the information out to people that people don’t have and maybe I can. What I learned writing this assignment is to take my time following all the steps and the rubrics to make my life easier to do the work and be able to express what the directions want me to do.

Parts and definitions of the computer
Computer parts – basic parts of a desktop computer (easypacelearning.com)
The parts of the computer that are needed to operate a computer is a graphics card, a graphics card allows the computer to get access to your CPU your central processing unit which allows your computer to show you visual information, A central processing unit (CPU) resides in phones apple watches computers laptops anything that is a cellular device its whole ordeal is to process and executing instructions to for the device to work so basically the brain of the computer. A power supply is a conduit of power that supplies energy to the computer to make it turn on and off and also powers up the rest of the components to work in the system. RAM (Random Access Memory) it holds your memory of your internet browsers all the information you store on the computer its in there.
Major parts of the computer
There are many major parts in a computer that will make a computer/laptop/phone whatever work but the most important part is the motherboard. A motherboard is basically the main source of the computer without the motherboard the electronic device is just a blank bunch of nothing but with a mother board you connect all the wires components to it now you got a working device.
how it was made
The computer was made in the late 1900s around when tevelsions and color devices started getting created and when society was experiencing there first technology advancement in that era. its dimensions are measures 305 x 244 mm or 12 x 9.6 inches when it comes to certain computers.

Computers and important parts

What is a computer?
The computer is a technological advancement created in the 1900s by a man named Charles Baddgae he was a British inventor and mathematician credited with having conceived the first automatic digital computer. ‘’A computer is simply a piece of a wide variety of technology in your home or at work. Computers are a critical piece of technology because in our days they are used every day to do homework join class meetings and do data analysis for work help you with everyday tasks that are needed with a computer’’.
Important parts of a computer
You may ask yourself what are the most important parts of a computer? Well I’m here to tell you that all the parts are important in their specific rights.
Right here below is the most vital critical part of the: computer the motherboard. What engineers and IT professionals call the spine of the computer. In a human body the spine connects the brain and the bones to make it work the motherboard connects all the parts of the computer to make it work. All the important parts go into the motherboard without the motherboard you just have parts and a blank computer and we don’t want that.
The second most important computer part is the RAM (random access memory. The RAM is used to store data that you are actively using for example if you are using the Nike website on the computer the RAM is actively storing data on it That is why some websites always ask you for your cookies cause that data going to the RAM.It is often referred to as “main memory” because of the critical role it plays in your computer’s operations and in the overall performance of a computer.
Below is the RAM.
Computer Power Supply Unit
A Power supply unit is a component of the computer that is the generator to it is the unit that powers electricity throughout the whole computer and monitors. It travels throughout the whole computer very fast while it’s on a gives power to every component. Below is a Power supply.
CPU
CPU(Control processing unit) is the brain of the computer. It allows the computer to think it tells all the parts what to do and how to do it like a human brain your brain tells you information and you input it onto paper or if you want to type on your computer it controls your movements the brain it’s consistently telling you things that’s what the CPU does tells on the components what to do. Below is a CPU
Graphics card/Graphics processing unit(GPU)
The graphics card is another important part of a computer it sends information to the computer display screen so when you are currently looking at my TDIS the graphics card is showing you my TDIS allowing you to see this document and if you are watching YouTube the graphics card is allowing you to see the video. Below is the GPU.
Hard drive/SSD
Now the hard drive stores the memory of your data in your computer into it. Now for my engineers and IT professionals understand there are better parts of a hard drive called an SSD. An SSD is the technological advancement of the hard drive but better What is good about it is that the SSD has no moving parts so it’s very fast at storing data very fast. The hard drive and SSD are below.
Input systems
Input systems are an easy component to understand because it’s your keyboard mouse and headphones you can plug into the computer so your computer can operate. Without your keyboard you won’t be able to type without your mouse you won’t be able to click on things or scroll down websites to look at stuff and without your headphone port you won’t be able to plug your headphones into it unless you got Bluetooth.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the computer is the best technological advancement to ever happen in human history and to this day and further on it continues to advance and evolve to make the better and faster. A little fun fact a computer is like a dad then the laptop is the mom then the iPad and the phone is like the kids because your phone is a small computer you can put into your pocket and your laptop and your iPad is a smaller version of eachother that you can bring around in your bag.
Disclaimer
when putting these components into your computer make sure to use a electric wristband this allows you to freely put your components into the computer without getting shocked its better to be safe than sorry.
When troubleshooting your computer remember to identify the problem. Then try to see if you can fix it then if you cant fix it contact a professional who knows what they are doing to assist you.
